I do not know of any C++ implementations for UNICOS. I doubt CRI will
be coming out with one anytime soon. The difficulty factor depends on
how you plan to go about it. If you plan to write it from the ground
up, I would say it would be very difficult (unless of course, you have
done this sort of thing before). If you plan to write it as a
preprocessor, that would be somewhat easier.
 
UNICOS was originally a port of a version of Unix that ran on a Vax.
